We invite you to read on and take a look at what's happening here in the Pride of Lions!

SPOTLIGHT ON STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT

Lisle 202 strives to help our students develop both academically and social -emotionally. Take a look at some of the ways our students are growing.

Good luck to Brandon Williamson (bowling) and the Lionettes (Dance) at their State Competitions this weekend! Lion Proud!

GREAT KINDNESS CHALLENGE

Kindergarteners worked with their fifth grade buddies to create "kindness chains" and were given kindness checklists with random acts of kindness. Students are challenged to do as many acts of kindness as possible. This checklist of acts of kindness are things families can complete together!

HAVE YOU TAKEN THE 5ESSENTIALS SURVEY?

ONLY 5 DAYS LEFT!

In an effort to continue to learn and grow as a district, we are seeking your input to better understand the strengths and challenges of our learning environments and guide our school improvement. In order to accomplish this, we are requesting that our parents and guardians participate in the 2017 Illinois 5Essentials Survey. Teachers and students in grades 6-12 participated in the survey during school hours. This research-based survey of school climate and learning conditions is designed to reflect on the learning environment of your child's school. Thank you for sharing your input with us!

IMPORTANT REMINDERS

School Visitor Procedures

Effective upon returning from the holiday break, all visitors to Lisle 202 schools will be required to leave their driver's license or state I.D. in the school office. The license will be returned after checking out at the office. The only exception to this new step in our procedure is during large events, such as holiday parties and grade level celebrations at the elementary schools. Visitors will still be checked in via our raptor system during these events. This additional measure will allow school administrators to ensure the safety and accountability for all in our buildings.

The Board of Education is committed to providing information about the school district to the Lisle 202 community. Each month a Board Highlights summary and video recordings of the Board Finance Committee Meeting and the Regular Board Meeting are posted on our website. We invite you to stay current with school district business by visiting the Lisle 202 website.
